How Can I Join a Real Estate Investment Group (REIG)?
Some real estate investors like to work independently, buying and selling properties with just the capital they have. Others prefer to craft a more in-depth portfolio, perhaps with fractional ownership of assets that they buy through a Delaware Statutory Trust or a REIT. Every investment method has its advantages and potential disadvantages. One less common approach is through a real estate investment group (REIG).
What Is Real Property?
Typically, real property is considered real estate—land, buildings, and other improvements, attached structures, anything growing on the property, and rights associated with a property (such as drilling rights). Permanent fixtures that can’t be removed without damage are also considered real property. Real property often contrasts with personal property, including machinery, artwork, collectibles, vehicles, and other personal belongings. Personal property includes valuables like jewelry and less costly items like clothing. It can also encompass intangibles like intellectual property.
Understanding Illiquidity in Real Estate Investing
We hear it all the time, real estate is an illiquid asset. Commonly used in the context of risk, Investopedia defines illiquidity as “the state of a security or other asset that cannot easily be sold or exchanged for cash without a substantial loss in value.”1 Opposite to securities that are traded at high volumes, such as stocks and treasury bonds, illiquid assets include private securities and hard assets that are not traded as frequently.
How To Get A Loan For Real Estate Investment
Financing a real estate transaction on an all-cash basis is unrealistic for most people and often not the best use of available cash, even if it is feasible. Fortunately, investors have ample options when choosing a financing strategy for their investments.
What Are Alternative Investments?
Alternative investments are those that fall outside of the traditional set of investment asset classes, which include stocks, bonds, and cash. Unlike traditional asset classes, most alternative investments, with the exception of public REITs, do not trade on public stock exchanges. This is because they lack many of the regulations found with stocks and bonds.
What Is A Sale-Leaseback?
A sale-leaseback is a transaction that separates a business’ real estate from the business operations. It converts an illiquid, long-term asset into immediate working capital. The process involves an owner-occupier of a building selling the property to a new owner. The seller then leases back the space so they can continue operating in it. The end result is that the seller becomes a tenant of the property. In this article, we’ll look in-depth at what’s involved in performing a sale-leaseback, why you might consider one, and go through an example to help solidify the concepts.
What Does An Asset Manager Do in Real Estate?
In basic terms, an asset manager manages assets. When the term is related to real estate, the asset manager is responsible for managing someone’s real estate assets. That means making decisions about the real estate portfolio to help it gain value and to manage risk. An effective real estate asset manager will need to understand the market, keeping current with research, including financial, political, and economic events. Note that an asset manager is not a property manager who manages an investment property's physical and financial operations.

What Is Legacy Planning, and Why Is It Important?
Legacy planning is the process of protecting and transferring assets from the current generation to the next. Careful planning can help preserve the value of your future bequests, assist your heirs with forming their investment strategies, and assist with managing tax obligations. Legacy planning may also include the inclusion of value considerations.
What Is the BRRRR Method in Real Estate?
Mention the words “real estate investment” and what might come to mind is buying a property, finding quality tenants, and generating potential cash flow from rents. There is also the possibility of asset appreciation, meaning you could generate capital gains on the sale of that property.
